SMALL GROUPS GENERAL INFO

Eastside Small Groups

Find your place and discover your purpose by getting involved in a small group through Eastside Foursquare! The best way to grow in your faith and meet other people at EFC is by getting connected to a small group of people.

Small group participation provides an environment for people to put their faith into motion as they learn to love others, grow spiritually, make friends, and apply faith to everyday situations.

Discover a small group using one or more of the following categories:

Meeting Locations

EFC small groups are categorized in 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place groups. First place groups meet in homes of EFC individuals or family members. Second place groups meet at EFC, school campuses, workplaces, etc. Third place groups meet in restaurants, coffee shops, or athletic venues.

Group Types

  • Mixed - groups for married, single, young, and old alike
  • Men - exclusively for men
  • Women - exclusively for women
  • Shared Interest - gathering centered on a common interest or hobby

Open Heart Open Home Weekends

These weekends also, serve as a great beginning point for new small groups, a restart for existing groups that have been on break, and a great opportunity for people to have a genuine small group experience.
